With unlimited molding styles to choose from at your local home center or lumberyard, the frame's look can quickly become a cohesive addition to any décor. I chose the modern look of a 1x2 board with a delicate inset cove molding to match the look of the built-in shelving around my TV and finished it with gold spray paint to complete a custom-built frame for my TV.

Does the frame cover the remote eye on the tv?

Any chance drilling a hole might work?

Not all TVs use IR. If your tv does use IR drill a hole for the sensor.

@@Navy1977 some use Bluetooth, some even use WiFi- neither need a clear view of a sensor.

Why is there still no security scans for busses or trains? Even for long distance train rides, I can arrive a minute before the train pulls in and bring my bike and backpack aboard. This often makes train trips faster than the same trip by plane, door-to-door.

Why not mount the tv to be level?

Now you just trapped the heat in the back and the TV will burn out prematurely.

i tried this on a RV TV but the frame fell off every time i changed the position of the TV arm 🤣😂 This was the same week i tried to cook beans on the BBQ grill but they kept falling through the grill 🤣😂

IR extenders and HDMI CEC equipment are also viable options

If this is a Samsung frame TV, then the ir receiver isn't on the TV.

@@Navy1977 - literally anywhere else… even in front of the fireplace would be better, if you live in a climate that doesn’t necessitate a fireplace. and putting it on a stand on a TV console table is much better than mounting, in living rooms or dedicated media rooms 👍

I cannot stand house hunting and seeing the room setup for tv above fireplace. Instant no go.

@@webberfan1234 - I think ideally it would be better to have two smaller “living” rooms… one as a sitting area/drawing room-type thing, and then a separate TV room, rather than one large “great room.” or if the house is too small, as is likely, the floor plan would allow the TV to be placed against a wall, with the fireplace at 90° to the TV, with furniture arranged so that they can easily address both 🤙
